When you think of a police cruiser, odds are you don’t picture a hybrid. But, Ford has been hard at work developing a hybrid police car. While there have been places in the United States that have implemented hybrid police cars before, Ford crafted their model with a specific goal in mind–accommodating performance needs for high speed pursuits. The model will be called the Ford Police Responder Hybrid Sedan, and it is based on Ford’s current Fusion Hybrid.

Ford says that in developing a hybrid police car, it’s doing more than just serving law enforcement. The model is also part of Ford’s campaign to show what else hybrid technology can do for the future of automotive innovation besides just boosting fuel economy. One of the other benefits of this “electrification” process –as demonstrated by Ford–is the ability to boost acceleration. The hybrid battery powertrain can also support police equipment like radios without leaving the engine running.

While police cars in general aren’t a very big market, many brands will develop police cruiser models for the sake of brand recognition. After all, having officers patrol in your vehicle is great advertising. And, Ford’s hybrid police car could be a great investment for urban police departments concerned about the cost of fuel. We at Mangold Ford are look forward to watching the development of this hybrid police car.
